i haven't taken it apart before so dont quote me if im wrong, but it seems like you just answered your own question. if they are screwed in, unscrew them. maybe you mean they are screwed in a different way.

First off, if your gOnna do your gauges, buy a black cat kit, comes with instructions
The needles basically just pull off, then there's some screws on the backside u gotta take off.

I have another thread here somewhere, but basically I took out the stock one, replaced it with a black chrome center cap and put LEDs
Behind it

Took apart the shifter, pop the knob, pop the trim piece around it and there's a couple tabs holding on the top half of the shifter plate, I strung up a blue led strip in there as the stock is just one halogen bulb

What did you decide to use for the LEDs that you put together? Was it strand of lights that you could get at like Radioshack or something? Or did you put them in separately and wired them that way?
